Third chick completed! This one's been claimed by my Mum as she thinks he's the cutest out of the lot lol she's named him Sparky so shall have to think of similar names for the other five. Think I should have straightened out the fabric more before putting him in the coaster as he's a bit wrinkled :...

Wow that looks really complicated to a beginner like me! he looks great though hope you enjoy it and can't wait to see your progress of him!

Thanks everyone! And thanks Niki I'll try and sort that out in future so that it looks more uniform

Thank you so much everyone! I'm going to go into my nearest Hobbycraft store and have a look at their magazines and see which one I like best

Hello from eastern Scotland! I'm 26 and have always liked cross stitching. Have been having a rough few months and have decided to take it up again for these long winter nights that are creeping up on us!
